Chapter 4: First Person To Donate His Body
This battle cannot be hidden from other ninja villages.
Ninja villages in other countries sent people to infiltrate Konoha to find out the news about the first Hokage, Senju Hashirama.
Because the safety of the first Hokage was related to the peace of the Shinobi World, Konoha could only strictly seal up the information about the first Hokage.
"Sasuke."
Tobirama Senju suddenly called out loudly.
The corner of Shihara Emiya's eye twitched.
No…
Isn't this wrong?
Why did the name Sasuke suddenly appear?
This era shouldn't be just a few years after Konoha was founded, right?
According to his memories of his previous life, this time should have been the time when the battle between Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha at the valley of the end had just passed.
How come Sasuke suddenly appeared?
"Tobirama-sama!"
A young ninja strode forward.
The young ninja looked at Shihara Emiya beside Tobirama Senju with a hint of confusion in his eyes and a hint of vigilance in his voice.
"Tobirama-sama, this is…"
"This is Shihara Emiya-sama."
Tobirama Senju had great trust in this young ninja and said in a deep voice: "Sasuke, everyone should be able to rest assured now, and there is no need to worry about the situation in the village."
"I used forbidden techniques to revive Shihara-sama and asked him to heal my elder brother's injuries. You should have heard of his name. Elder brother's injuries will no longer be a problem."
"Is it the greatest Medical Ninja, Shihara Emiya?"
A look of amazement flashed across the young ninja's face, and he looked at Shihara Emiya in front of him with disbelief: "I grew up hearing the name of Shihara Emiya, but I never thought that one day I would be able to see him in person…"
"This is Sasuke Sarutobi, the leader of our Konoha's Jonin squad."
Tobirama Senju introduced the young ninja to Shihara Emiya and then instructed Sasuke Sarutobi: "Sasuke, keep the matter of Shihara-sama strictly confidential from the people in the village…"
Although Tobirama held power in Konoha as the Hokage's assistant, he did not practice complete dictatorship.
During the time when Konoha was in trouble because of Hashirama Senju's injury, other ninjas in the village also felt uneasy and did not have any information about the situation.
If something unexpected happens…
Konoha will definitely face hostility from other ninja villages.
At this point in time, Tobirama must unite the ninja clans in the village so that Konoha will not collapse due to his elder brother's problems shortly after its establishment.
The Sarutobi clan is one of the largest ninja clans in Konoha.
The three Ya-Na-Ki clans, which consist of the Nara Clan, the Akimichi Clan, and the Yamanaka Clan in Konoha, were headed by the Sarutobi clan during the Warring States Period.
Sasuke Sarutobi has been helping to stabilize other ninja clans so that everyone in the village will not panic; introducing Shihara Emiya to him is also a reassurance to Sasuke Sarutobi.
Tobirama asked Sasuke Sarutobi to be responsible for protecting his elder brother and also to let them know that he trusted these ninja clans enough.
At least compared with the independent Hyuga clan and Uchiha Clan, the Sarutobi clan was indeed trustworthy.
"I'll take Shihara-sama to the ward first."
Tobirama patted Sasuke Sarutobi on the shoulder, took the initiative to step forward to lead the way, and praised Shihara Emiya: "Sasuke Sarutobi is a ninja with a tough temperament. He is also the head of the Sarutobi clan. In many cases, even I can't be compared to him…"
"Speaking of which, his child, Hiruzen Sarutobi, is also a very good student. At this age, he has already mastered the summoning technique of his clan…"
When Tobirama Senju said this, he looked at Shihara Emiya somewhat obscurely, as if he hoped that Shihara Emiya could bring up some stories about the ancestors of the Sarutobi clan.
Shihara Emiya looked at Tobirama Senju with some surprise.
Do you want me to tell you something about the past of the Sarutobi clan?
I don't know the past of the Sarutobi clan; I only know its future.
Shihara Emiya met Tobirama Senju's gaze and shook his head gently: "In my time, there was no Sarutobi clan…"
"In the era when the ninja clan was first established…"
"The Sage of Six Paths is the only one ninja clan who has his own surname."
"Ninja clan?"
"Sage of Six Paths?"
Tobirama Senju paused, stared at Shihara Emiya, and asked subconsciously: "Could it be that Shihara-sama has actually seen the legendary god?"
"God?"
Shihara Emiya was a little surprised and looked at Tobirama Senju curiously: "The Senju clan… Don't they have any records about the Sage of Six Paths?"
Tobirama Senju shook his head, then nodded: "For our time, the Sage of Six Paths is the creator god in mythology. He quelled the disaster of the Shinobi World, spread Chakra in the Shinobi World, and founded the ancient ninja clan…"
"Well enough."
Shihara Emiya was a little noncommittal about the Sage of Six Paths and casually said: "I thought the Senju clan should have a record because the Sage of Six Paths is the father of Asura, the ancestor of your clan, and Indra, the ancestor of the Uchiha Clan…"
Tobirama's heart couldn't stop beating.
Such a secret…he had never heard of it!
The ancestors of the Senju and Uzumaki clans are actually the Sage of Six Paths!
One can imagine what this news about the ancestor would mean once it leaked out.
It's a pity that this news came too late.
Certainly, it would be even better if the other party was not the ancestor of the Uchiha Clan.
The Uchiha Clan is already unruly.
Now, if they know that their ancestor is the Sage of Six Paths, they will probably become even more arrogant in the village, right?
"Sage of Six Paths is a good man."
Shihara Emiya ignored Tobirama Senju's concerns and continued: "I proposed the concept of Medical Ninja in this world. The Sage of Six Paths was the first person to donate his body for human experimentation and medical research after his death…"
Certainly, there is another truth that Shihara Emiya did not mention.
The remains of the Sage of Six Paths were not donated voluntarily.
Because the Ninja System refreshed a task commission to recover the remains of the Sage of Six Paths, he had to recover the Sage of Six Paths' remains to complete this task commission.
He got the remains of the Sage of Six Paths, and only then did he truly gain enough strength to survive in this world since he traveled through time.
Unfortunately, the Sage of Six Paths' remains did not contain the ability to live forever; otherwise, he wouldn't have to cross death and come this far…
